May 23, 2024 – Santa Ana resident Luis Guerrero, 53, was arrested on Thursday morning and will face an arraignment hearing in the afternoon. According to the office of U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada, Guerrero conspired to pay $37,000 to two “body brokers” in the form of illegal kickbacks. The body brokers would then refer people struggling with addiction to Guerrero, who would attempt to sign them up for treatment at his Orange County-based facility, prosecutors said. Guerrero had a monthly patient intake quota as a condition for his employment at the facility as a patient intake coordinator.
Prosecutors also alleged that Guerrero, in coordination with the unnamed “body brokers,” arranged payments to the patients in exchange for allowing the facility to bill their insurance providers for treatment.
